Traveler reviews
Peyman Ahmadi
★★★★★2 months agoA must see in Santorini. Always long line ups to take photos. It is recommended to visit before 7am to avoid the crowd.
Deloris Wilson
★★★★★a year agoI went on a tour of the blue dome churches of Oia Santorini, Greece. The buildings of Santorini are painted white with blue dome churches. All structures are set into the cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea. And, of course, I was inspired to do as many tourists do, that is to take a flying dress photoshoot! The island is breathtakingly beautiful and Instagram worthy!
